Overall Grade 66%
Comments Clear beginning to the introduction. Would be good to explain further how the condition score can be used. Good
graphical presentation of the results. It would have been good to also explain how you binned the data in the
methods. These ewes are mid-pregnancy, so early gestation / joining discussion is not very relevant. Is there
anything you could do to lower the condition score of the animals at 4-5? How will you ensure that supplementary
feed is only fed to the ewes with conditions core <3? Conclusion would be better if it was more specific to the task.
